Our Week of Rockies Rivers will introduce you to our favorite runs in the East Kootenays.
You’ll enjoy 5 days of paddling the best whitewater of the Cross, White, and Kootenay Rivers. Your qualified guides will provide expert instruction in whitewater maneuvers & safety. We use stable and durable SOAR inflatable canoes. Two nights we return to Nipika to enjoy the hot tub, sauna and a delicious dinner & comfortable cabin bed. Three nights are spent camping along the rivers.
